Training with Stefano Massa was one of the best choices I could have made for my health, my energy, and my athletic path. Stefano is a rare coach: knowledgeable, present, and above all, able to understand the person before the athlete. Stefano has a scientific yet human approach, precise in his instructions and at the same time respectful of required timing for the body and individual needs. Each workout is carefully designed, with real attention to technical improvement, injury prevention, and motivation. Thanks to his method, I’ve rediscovered fluidity in swimming, strength in my legs, and above all, consistency in my workout routine—something essential for me. Stefano goes beyond coaching: he accompanies, supports, and instils enormous confidence.I recommend him to anyone who wants to grow, improve, and feel truly seen as both an athlete and a person.Thank you, Stefano, for your professionalism, availability, and the quality of your work.

CHARISMATIC, SCRUPULOUS AND WELL PREPARED
With a background in amateur road cycling, I chose to start Triathlon in October 2021 because I consider it a complete sport for and mind. Thanks to Stefano I was able to overcome my Achilles tendon ?running? and I was able to get in good shape in a short time in both swimming and cycling. Stefano is my first Triathlon coach and with him I have established a friendly and professional relationship, in which mutual respect and collaboration are the basis of all our interactions.

EFFECTIVE AND A TRUE FRIENDSHIP!
I was already used to run when with my boyfriend we decided to try triathlon aiming at keeping fit and train as the gym was not for us. After the first triathlon sprints, we wanted to try an Olympic distance, but we needed a coach. I’ve been training with Stefano for a year and with him I managed to finish a race without feeling exhausted. Unlike other coaches he is always present and available, thanks to him I became more structured and discipline in training.

UNIQUE AND ESSENTIAL
During my relationship with Stefano I’ve seen continuous improvements in my performance and mental strength making me feel better and be able to compete in both long and medium distance races. With Stefano I started working on both medium distance and then full distance ironman triathlons. Stefano is very professional, friendly and always helpful.

A LORD OF TRIATHLON!
With Stefano I started pushing even when I didn’t think I could do it. He is an extremely kind and nice person; he always does what he says. I still have a lot to work on, but having never been an agonist, I’m starting to feel a bit like one. In the last race I improved my performance by around 15 minutes on a medium distance Ironman.

SUPER!
I had 2 coaches before him, but with Stefano I made a big leap in quality becoming competitive at the highest levels in my category. In fact, I significantly improved my personal bests in all the main triathlon distances. The thing that struck me most was the mental strength and awareness of my possibilities that Stefano helped me achieve. I have deep respect and trust in him.
